I don't want to put a damper in your project, but those wires should be run through the wood not behind it. Their is always some friction as you move and it could wear a wires protective covering off. I'm not an expert, just an amateur electrician.
Sounds like you have it all under control.

WOW, that's a LOT of progress! I'd like to show this entire thread to a tech at Camping World who seemed to think that old RVs should just be sold for scrap...

We can not find the silver insulation in Harlan, I would say Corbin or Lundon Ky is where we would have to go to get it so we have decided to just work with what we already have I can't see driving 65 miles one way just for this to bad I did not know about this at a earlier date, That is ok, What we have will work, Ya win some...Ya lose some, We got a little more insulation put in today.
Makes total sense to me, especially if you'd already bought the pink stuff, have it on hand, and are ready to work.
If it helps any, I've given up trying to find Eternabond locally (except for small patch type pieces at Walmart), and order it online. I'll probably do the same for the insulation. Now if I could only order 2x4's online! ๐

I have the same style of door handle/light but we also have another light up higher (under the awning). The upper light is on a switch inside beside the door (along with an interior light on a different switch). The exterior door handle light has a push button switch behind the handle. It is nice when you want just a little more light, it's not as bright as the higher light. So far it has not attracted many more insects, my cover is not white but an orange tint to it.

Here are two message threads about using LED rope lights the full length of the awning either on the awning itself or right under the awning. Under the awning has the advantage in that you can use them without putting out the awning. Nice.
